    the AFL are going to keep the Docklands roof open so they don't fall foul of the 100 people inside an indoor venue rule.

    Crown casino considers each of its rooms a venue so you just put sets of ten people in a sponsors box and problem solved.

    If you're a MFC Member you should have received an email with a unique code and the offer of a Kayo Subscription for $2.50 a month for two months. 

    Hhmmm didn’t see that.

    there is a commitment in both directions. if it happened it would be the afl contractually breaking their commitment first. It's not a question of a state honouring a commitment but one of whether a contract has been breached.

    major effected place is obviously tasmania  and their new confinement rules means it won't get to that stage. this leaves darwin, alice springs and i think bendigo.

    But it Tassy denied us entry to the state, or NT dienies us entry..  then surely they'd be breaching the contract.?

    CHARTER FLIGHTS, MASKS ON PLAYERS FOR COVID-19 AVOIDANCE

    Fremantle players have been spotted wearing masks at Perth Airport, one of the many measures AFL clubs are taking to avoid coronavirus while travelling this weekend.

    Six clubs are flying interstate - Fremantle, Geelong, Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney and Port Adelaide - and all have taken or will take charter flights to avoid exposure.

    They’ll also be housed on dedicated floors at their hotels.

    This is an utterly ridiculous situation. We will have a positive result from an AFL player inside of a week and a half and then the league will be suspended for a month at their own admission. 
     

    What gets the league back going again? Right now we should be ramping up testing and tracing and getting on top of this and then starting our bloody football games. What a terrible example for young people who will be the reason we may struggle to get on top of this in the next couple months.

    Are others struggling with this? The game is disintegrating rapidly.

    I find it a welcome distraction from the constant doom and gloom now being pumped out 24 hours a day.

    If anything it reminds me that it is merely a game to be enjoyed. Sure it probably will only last a few more rounds but lets savour it while we can.

    Had the same thoughts when they decided to go ahead with the season D_J. I’m glad some are getting enjoyment out of it so far, I’m just left confused every time I read an AFL article and how new protocols are in place after a game. Avoid unnecessary touching after exchanging sweat for 2 hours? 

    Maybe i just simply need to watch our team again to get back to normality.

    Totally agree 'rpfc'...

    I think it will be a miracle if we get as far as tomorrow before it's called off.

    Players are not isolating themselves, I've seen selfies taken last night on Facebook (not our player but the way).

    ...and by the standard of the games to date it's pretty obvious that even though they voted to play subconsciously their heart is not in it.

    There's about as much pressure as you see in match simulation at training.

    That rises occasionally to the level of practice match pressure.

    I think we all need to be a little mindful of how we reply to other peoples opinions. For those that are cooped up indoors online chat might be the closest thing to an interaction they're going to have in the short term so slapping them down, even if what they say is a bit kooky, may not be the best way to respond. Just make sure you spell everything properly or I really will start to lose my sh@t!

    Now I've really lost it. You forgot the apostrophe in "people's"

    He's right. It's like being told that it's ok to have morning sex but not kiss the other person goodbye before you head off to work.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
